A chromaticism ranging from bright to shrill dominates the Bruce Museum's exhibition ''A Cultural Kaleidoscope.'' More than 30 paintings by 20th-century Haitian artists -- among them Wilson Bigaud, Philome Obin and J. B. Bottex -- appear here, dealing with subjects ranging from the religious and the historical to scenes of daily life.

Among the treats is Bottex's ''Samson and the Lion'' (1966), a Rousseau-like depiction of the long-haired biblical hero attacking a Disneyesque beast in a stylized natural landscape. Take your sunglasses; the color in this show really blasts. GRACE GLUECK
